DDG 1001 hangar delivered

The Ingalls Shipbuilding division of Huntington Ingalls Industries has delivered the composite hangar that will be used on the U.S. Navy's second Zumwalt-class guided missile destroyer, Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001). The 220-ton structure will be transferred to a shipping barge and sent to Maine in early October. Ingalls is building the hangar, peripheral vertical launch system and composite deckhouse for the ship. The PVLS was delivered in July, and all that remains is the deckhouse delivery expected in first quarter of 2014. (Source: Ingalls via Globe Newswire, 09/25/13) Previous
